let's make an effort to understand his situation: young, recently out of his teens, with a ridiculous amount of money and fame, and away from home for the first time (if you don't count his year at Seaton). no lets add in his background: poor, from a broken family, etc... if you do a little math, the equation can be disastrous, and most of the time it is. we all saw his basketball potential but little did we pay attention to the disastrous affects that equation might potentially produce. let's have patience, analyze the situation when we get the facts, and be supportive of the youngest member of our POTENTIAL dynasty. be a true rocket fan... be supportive of our Eddie. I'm confident that in the near future, maybe a couple of months from now, we will again be shouting Eddie ! Eddie! Let's go rockets!!!

Good Post.

Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to appreciate what you have and to grow up.

Hopefully EG will realize how good he had it and get his act together.

He could come back strong and still be a great player for the Rockets.

and everyone wondered why we didn't extend his contract

Can't say that I'm one bit surprised. My cousin is an HPD officer and he'd told me that this was coming down several weeks ago. Since I was sworn to secrecy, I could not say anything on the board until now. This is what happens when you are stupid and in this case, CD, Rudy & Les were all stupid to believe that this guy was worth all they gave up. Now they have absolutely nothing to show for it...

I don't give a rat's arse if Eddie is/was a Rocket. Fact is he made a really stupid mistake that is really uncondonable. I'm sorry, but I can't support a "kid" who feels the need to hit women and then shoot at them. There is nothing EG has done to garner any support from me.

EG is a sick human being.

If his only problem were basketball, then you'd have a valid point. Again, I do cannot support a guy who is this shady. EG just isn't a good human being.

I'm sure his brother is very proud of him. I know (low blow), but screw him, he let me down.
